Eyes of a Hound Dog

The McKimson dog can’t figure out why his dog house is moving like a railroad car in “Walky Talky Hawky,” the first Foghorn Leghorn cartoon.

He looks outside, then gets a mirror to see what’s underneath his doghouse. Cut to Henery Hawk carrying it.

Here’s the dog’s “my goodness!” take. It’s animated on twos.

Don Williams drew duplicate vertical eyes like this in other cartoons. According to Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald’s Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, he animated on this Oscar nominee, along with Cal Dalton and Dick Bickenbach.
